The White Cliffs of Dover are iconic chalk cliffs located along the southeastern coast of England. Rising up to 110 meters (360 feet) above the English Channel, they stretch for about 13 kilometers (8 miles) and are known for their striking white appearance, which is due to the chalk composition. The cliffs have been a symbol of Britain and are often associated with the idea of home and safety for those returning from sea. These cliffs are not only a natural landmark but also a popular tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy scenic views, hiking trails, and historical sites nearby, including Dover Castle. The cliffs have significant ecological importance, providing habitats for various species of plants and birds, making them a vital part of the local environment.
